    Description: Global lake volume estimates are scarce, highly variable, and poorly documented. We developed a rigorous method for estimating global lake depth and volume based on the Hurst coefficient of Earth's surface, which provides a mechanistic connection between lake area and volume. Volume-area scaling based on the Hurst coefficient is accurate and consistent when applied to lake data sets spanning diverse regions. We applied these relationships to a global lake area census to estimate global lake volume and depth. The volume of Earth's lakes is 199,000 km3 (95% confidence interval 196,000–202,000 km3). This volume is in the range of historical estimates (166,000–280,000 km3), but the overall mean depth of 41.8 m (95% CI 41.2–42.4 m) is significantly lower than previous estimates (62–151 m). These results highlight and constrain the relative scarcity of lake waters in the hydrosphere and have implications for the role of lakes in global biogeochemical cycles.

    Description: Salt marshes are physically, chemically, and biologically dynamic environments found globally at temperate latitudes. Tidal creeks and marshtop ponds may expand at the expense of productive grass-covered marsh platform. It is therefore important to understand the present magnitude and drivers of production and respiration in these submerged environments in order to evaluate the future role of salt marshes as a carbon sink. This thesis describes new methods to apply the triple oxygen isotope tracer of photosynthetic production in a salt marsh. Additionally, noble gases are applied to constrain air-water exchange processes which affect metabolism tracers. These stable, natural abundance tracers complement traditional techniques for measuring metabolism. In particular, they highlight the potential importance of daytime oxygen sinks besides aerobic respiration, such as rising bubbles. In tidal creeks, increasing nutrients may increase both production and respiration, without any apparent change in the net metabolism. In ponds, daytime production and respiration are also tightly coupled, but there is high background respiration regardless of changes in daytime production. Both tidal creeks and ponds have higher respiration rates and lower production rates than the marsh platform, suggesting that expansion of these submerged environments could limit the ability of salt marshes to sequester carbon.

    Description: Many chemical constituents are removed from the ocean by attachment to settling particles, a process referred to as “scavenging.” Radioisotopes of thorium, a highly particle-reactive element, have been used extensively to study scavenging in the ocean. However, this process is complicated by the highly variable chemical composition and concentration of particles in oceanic waters. This thesis focuses on understanding the cycling of thorium as affected by particle concentration and particle composition in the North Atlantic. This objective is addressed using (i) the distributions 228,230,234Th, their radioactive parents, particle composition, and bulk particle concentration, as measured or estimated along the GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect (GA03) and (ii) a model for the reversible exchange of thorium with particles. Model parameters are either estimated by inversion (chapter 2-4), or prescribed in order to simulate 230Th in a circulation model (chapter 5). The major findings of this thesis follow. In chapters 2 and 3, I find that the rate parameters of the reversible exchange model show systematic variations along GA03. In particular, 𝑘1, the apparent first-order rate "constant" of Th adsorption onto particles, generally presents maxima in the mesopelagic zone and minima below. A positive correlation between 𝑘1 and bulk particle concentration is found, consistent with the notion that the specific rate at which a metal in solution attaches to particles increases with the number of surface sites available for adsorption. In chapter 4, I show that Mn (oxyhydr)oxides and biogenic particles most strongly influence 𝑘1 west of the Mauritanian upwelling, but that biogenic particles dominate 𝑘1 in this region. In chapter 5, I find that dissolved 230Th data are best represented by a model that assumes enhanced values of 𝑘1 near the seafloor. Collectively, my findings suggest that spatial variations in Th radioisotope activities observed in the North Atlantic reflect at least partly variations in the rate at which Th is removed from the water column.

    Description: This thesis documents the origin, distribution, and fate of methane and several of its isotopic forms on Earth. Using observational, experimental, and theoretical approaches, I illustrate how the relative abundances of 12CH4, 13CH4, 12CH3D, and 13CH3D record the formation, transport, and breakdown of methane in selected settings. Chapter 2 reports precise determinations of 13CH3D, a “clumped” isotopologue of methane, in samples collected from various settings representing many of the major sources and reservoirs of methane on Earth. The results show that the information encoded by the abundance of 13CH3D enables differentiation of methane generated by microbial, thermogenic, and abiogenic processes. A strong correlation between clumped- and hydrogen-isotope signatures in microbial methane is identified and quantitatively linked to the availability of H2 and the reversibility of microbially-mediated methanogenesis in the environment. Determination of 13CH3D in combination with hydrogen-isotope ratios of methane and water provides a sensitive indicator of the extent of C–H bond equilibration, enables fingerprinting of methane-generating mechanisms, and in some cases, supplies direct constraints for locating the waters from which migrated gases were sourced. Chapter 3 applies this concept to constrain the origin of methane in hydrothermal fluids from sediment-poor vent fields hosted in mafic and ultramafic rocks on slow- and ultraslow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. The data support a hypogene model whereby methane forms abiotically within plutonic rocks of the oceanic crust at temperatures above ca. 300 C during respeciation of magmatic volatiles, and is subsequently extracted during active, convective hydrothermal circulation. Chapter 4 presents the results of culture experiments in which methane is oxidized in the presence of O2 by the bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus strain Bath. The results show that the clumped isotopologue abundances of partially-oxidized methane can be predicted from knowledge of 13C/12C and D/H isotope fractionation factors alone.

    Description: The environmental variables are important in the functioning and dynamics of freshwater ecosystems, since changes in physical and chemical conditions of these environments contribute to alterations in the ecological functioning. This research was conducted in four neotropical flood plains: Amazônica, Araguaia, Pantanal e Paraná. The samples of zooplankton were performed in the subsurface region of limnetic lakes each floodplain, in the years 2011 and 2012 (dry and wet). At the same time the environmental variables were measured and obtained water samples for later laboratory analysis. Our goal was to investigate the effect of environmental variables in the abundance of copepods, and the following hypothesis was tested: HI) the abundance of copepods has a great set with environmental variables, and extremes range of environmental variation, the lower the abundance of these organisms, unimodal effect. Local factors (physical and chemical environmental conditions) determined the abundance of copepods, as well as the environmental gradient showed a close relationship in the spatial and temporal distribution of the species, being possible to observe higher abundance at specific levels of environmental variables (toward the great). Studies that focus on tolerance limits of the species and their relationships with environmental conditions has risen in recent years, as the anthropogenic changes in climate and natural environments has caused significant changes in community structure, facilitating the invasion by non-native species and loss species diversity and the consequent change in ecosystem functioning. However, the hypothesis (HI) was partially supported, as the abundance follows a pattern of rise towards the great, but it was not possible to clearly unimodal effect on abundance for many species.
    Description: As variáveis ambientais têm papel relevante no funcionamento e dinâmica de ambientes aquáticos continentais, uma vez que, mudanças nas condições físicas e químicas desses ambientes contribuem para alterações no padrão de funcionamento ecológico. Esta investigação foi realizada em quatro planícies de inundação neotropicais: Amazônica, Araguaia, Pantanal e Paraná. As coletas de organismos zooplanctônicos foram realizadas na subsuperfície da região limnética das lagoas de cada planície de inundação, nos anos de 2011 e 2012 (seca e cheia). Ao mesmo tempo foram medidas as variáveis ambientais e obtidas amostras de água para posterior análise em laboratório. O nosso objetivo foi investigar o efeito das variáveis ambientais na abundância dos copépodes, e foi testada a seguinte hipótese: HI) a abundância de copépodes possui um ótimo estabelecido com as variáveis ambientais, e em extremos de amplitude de variação ambiental, menor será a abundância desses organismos, efeito uninodal. Os fatores locais (condições físicas e químicas do ambiente) determinaram a abundância de copépodes, bem como a variação ambiental apresentou uma estreita relação na distribuição espacial e temporal das espécies, sendo possível observar maiores valores de abundância em níveis específicos das variáveis ambientais (direção ao ótimo). Estudos que focam nos limites de tolerância das espécies e suas relações com as condições ambientais tem ressurgido nos últimos anos, pois as alterações antropogênicas no clima e nos ambientes naturais tem causado expressivas mudanças na estrutura da comunidade, facilitação à invasão por espécies não nativas e perda da diversidade de espécies e a consequente alteração no funcionamento ecossistêmico. Contudo, a hipótese (HI) foi parcialmente corroborada, pois a abundância segue um padrão de ascensão em direção ao ótimo, porém não foi possível estabelecer claramente para muitas espécies um efeito unimodal na distribuição da abundância.

    Description: The culture of Penaeus monodon has explicitly defined the need for diet formulations or supplementary feeds that would promote optimum growth and survival of the animal. A total of 28 feed combinations were developed for P. monodon. Fish meal, shrimp head meal, squid head meal, Ascetes spp. rice bran, and soybean cake were used as primary ingredients in these feeds. The commercial vitamin mix No. 22 was added to the dry ingredients. Gelatinized corn starch and wheat flour were used as binders. The pellets were extruded using a portable kitchen grinder with a diameter of 4 mm. The products were either sun-dried for 8 hours or oven-dried overnight at 50 degree C to stabilize moisture at 8-10%. The pellets were then kept in covered glass bottles and stored in the laboratory at room temperature. The cost of the feeds excluding labour were also computed. The pellets were analyzed for protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fiber, ash, and moisture contents using standard procedures. They were also analyzed for water stability. To test the stability of pellets in water, 2-g samples were placed in plankton nets (mesh #40) and suspended in water for two, and six hours. The undissolved samples were then vacuum-dried and the moisture determined. Cost of the feeds ranged from P1.10 to P2.60 per kg depending on the feed ingredient. Squid and Ascetes spp. were rather expensive for use as basic ingredients. Proximate analysis of dry weight showed percentage protein content ranged from 20-63 g; fat, 8-20 g; carbohydrate (by difference), 11-36 g; ash, 8-28 g; moisture, 6-11 g; and crude fiber, 5 . 13 g. Stability tests showed that after two hours, 35-88% of solids remained intact and after 6 hours, 20-55% of the pellets remained undissolved. When a pellet disintegrates easily, pollution of the water occurs. Chances for the shrimp to feed on the pellet is minimized when the pellet is unstable. Thus, the search for a more compact feed pellet has to be continued.
